For example, the "island" languages in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines have easier phonology to pronounce -- and somewhat simpler grammar. If you think you are giving me any hope, you must be speaking in Korean. maump and Marc in Calif 1 1 Quote
caeron Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Language is very hard to learn for adults. That part of the mind loses its strength in adulthood. If I ever had a kid to raise, I would make them learn as much language as possible in childhood when the mind is malleable enough that it just all soaks in easily. For us older folks, it is a hard slog to mere incompetence. Fluency is beyond most of us. Boy69, maump, Marc in Calif and 1 other 4 Quote
